Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated

Hmmm...I don't know about this being a falcon slayer. If I was a falcon player (with boost) I think I would be able to outmaneuver your tie clump and pick them off from behind.

I see what you're going for, but I don't think the damage output is there.

I'll tell you whats fun: Vessery with clusters, PTL and other ships in the squad that can take a TL.

Move, action (TL) action #2 focus.

Combat turns to Vessery

Fire clusters, spending TL.

Roll die.

Gain TL from supporting ship having lock.

Reroll die as needed, spend focus as needed.

Attack #2 from clusters.

Gain TL.

Reroll die/focus as needed.

Profit. It was a lot of fun against a falcon the other night. My opponent was not happy. Not to mention I kept blocking his actions with TIEs w/ targeting computers whom were moving before Han would, hence they would get their actions.

Taking your first list:

Backstabber

Darkcurse

BSP + Outmanuever

BSP + Outmanuever

BSP + Outmanuever

BSP + Outmanuever

That will take down Falcons. Not pretty to fly though.

That would mean performing two TL actions in one round wouldn't it? Vessery's card Text does say "aquire a target lock", not "aquire a target lock token". So it's not allowed right?

Forcing a bump with Intimidation is actually the best way of getting around Threepio + MF, and takes boost out of the equation as well.

Acquire a target lock isn't performing the action so it is fine. If it said "perform a free target lock action" then it would be an issue. The wording is slightly different because it is not a single token like focus or evade.

I believe the difference is that it doesn't mention the word action, so you're not actually repeating an action.

Or just go with the classics.

It also rocks against most lists.
